Behavioural Lapses

We express “shock” at the alleged infidelities of a powerful celebrity (Harvey Weinstein) and those who have kept quiet over decades in public life. Yet somehow calmly ignore the hundreds of “dark secrets”, we have personally witnessed in our own lives and workplaces that have trangressed ethical, and acceptable behaviour, where we have failed to speak up or confront it. To understand “why”, is to better understand how we can live in a more civilised world rather than waste energy judging others.
